chief ka kar 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I was wondering if anyone can help me . I know this is not a vr but need help with the wifes 1998 golf gti 2.0 8v . The clutch pedal went to the floor checked cable thats ok . So i went about removing the box only to find that these use a rod though the spline rather than a release bearing.What i wanted to know is the rod meant to work under some sort of pressured system to work the clutch.Thanks for any help in this matter Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 i know mate when i looked at. my old gearbox i couldnt really work out how it worked. on the side of the gearbox youll see the pivot arm for the clutch? that pushes the rod through all of the gears to th clutch plate. here it acts just the same as a release bearing on a VR. doubtful it will be that mechanism though, check the cable and the end mechanism, this can be a pain sometimes Link to post Share on other sites
chief ka kar 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Just found out that they have a fork inside the box which is linked to the clutch lever. So am going to look into that. Thanks for the input Link to post Share on other sites
BenVictors 1 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 If you remove the green cap on the end of the box you will see the actuating finger, this is sat on a splined shaft which in turn is moved by the clutch arm/cableThe splines are notorious for wearing and making the actuating finger unable to push the push rod into the pressure plate. Quite an easy fix tbh mate.Have a look on here http://www.brokevw.com/ for a guide as to how to fix Link to post Share on other sites
